System and method for bypass memory read request detection

System and method for analyzing CXL flits at read bypass detection logic to identify bypass memory read requests and transmitting the identified bypass memory read requests over a read request bypass path directly to a transaction/application layer of the CXL memory controller, wherein the read request bypass path does not include an arbitration/multiplexing layer and a link layer of the CXL memory controller, thereby reducing the latency inherent in a CXL memory controller.
